Ok my drivers side exterior door handle has become more and more sticky not retracting back to the original position.
You can close the door but it won t open from the inside unless you push it in from the outside.
This has caused me to no be able to close the door and some instances not able to open it up.
I haven t even started ripping it apart.
It was stuck in the locked position.
Once in awhile it will actually unlock with the other doors then when you lock it up it sticks in the up position.
Also i would use something other than wd 40 to lubricate the handle.
